PER CURIAM.
After James C. Lewis pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm,
in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), the district court 1 sentenced him to 33 months
imprisonment and 3 years supervised release. Counsel has filed a brief and has
moved to withdraw under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that

Mr. Lewis should receive credit for time he spent in a county jail before being
indicted on the instant offense. Mr. Lewis, however, must first exhaust his
administrative remedies by presenting his claim to the Bureau of Prisons. See United
States v. Chappel, 208 F.3d 1069, 1069-70 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam); 28 C.F.R.
§§ 542.10-542.19 (2001). Having reviewed the record independently under Penson
v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and having found no nonfrivolous issues, we grant
counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of the district court.
